From the LPUnderground homepage: (where you to have to be a member to view the news...)

"We’re excited to announced a new membership tier. Now, for just $25, you can become an Annual LPU member and receive an LPU11 membership laminate and lanyard which will give you early entry to Linkin Park shows. You’ll also get all of the other LPU benefits for a whole year including opportunities for meet & greets, pre-sale tickets, LPU-TV episodes, exclusive music, access to the online community and more. These members will also be able to purchase passes to International LPU Summit events for an additional fee. LPU11 PLUS Membership tier is still available for $60 and includes the full membership package and FREE pass to Summit events. The $10 monthly pass is no longer available for purchase. If you haven't renewed from LPUX, you can check out this new membership option at LPUnderground.com.

For those of you who purchased the $60 LPU11 Annual Membership up until this point, we'd like to thank you for your dedication by guaranteeing that you will be selected for ONE meet & greet during the upcoming Linkin Park tour cycle. If a tour date is announced that you will be attending and you would like to be on the meet & greet list, email lpuhq@lpunderground.com with the subject "LPU11 ANNUAL MEET & GREET: (CITY)". Tickets for the show are NOT included."

Some points are not clear for me: "early entry to Linkin Park shows" - what this means?? "purchase passes to International LPU Summit events for an additional fee" - nobody would tell of course

This is what i've read on the "What Is LPU ?" on the LPUnderground.com

"Early Entry: A brand new benefit of LPU11 is early entry to the venue at Linkin Park tour dates. Early entry gets you to your seats right away, or a great spot to watch the show from the floor (for GA tickets), or get a good spot in line at the merch booth. The laminate in the merchandise package is more than just a cool thing to wear… it’s your way to get early access at the venue."

Tnx for explaining but I would like to see how it happens in live, haha. I was at many concerts and can't imagine how it will be done in countries like Russia or Ukraine because our security works very very bad and with the worst manners..

Owh,okay2.. lol
I'm not sure how they will handle it but i'm sure,those who wear the laminate will get serve first..
it's like we're the VIP for the concert..
I guess..

The core security of the show is still LP's own security and they tell the local security what has to be done.

So I will look forward to it

Yeah LP has really good security. Both in sense of, they protect the band really well and they inform the venues of what needs to be done. Marcel is their head security guy and he has a "no bullshit" attitude. I'm pretty sure early entry will go off without a flaw at any headlining show. I'm interested to see if this will apply to the smaller shows like Best Buy Theatre, etc on the next tour.

[Stone44]

Hm, are they still selling the older LPU CD's and for a reduced price? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on HTEP or a couple of older LPU's!!

[Final Destiny]

Holy crap, this is exactly what I was waiting for. Totally buying in now.

[Astat]

They have the CDs from 5 onwards. They did a sale of a limited bundle of the 1-4 CDs last week but they sold out in a matter of minutes.

[AndOne]

My LPU expires in a week or so. I'll probably go for 25$ package and the CD. I don't want to to pay 60$ again and who the hells knows how close the next summit is.

Damn, I already have 6-7, and don't really want 5 =/. Does anyone know if you still get the package with CD, t-shirt, etc. with this type of membership?

[schatti]

One thing was forgotten for those who signed up für LPU11 before yesterday. Every annual member has a guarenteed M&G at the next touring cycle even LPU11 expires before. @Stone44 with the 25$ membership you get all the online benefits, the lanyard for the early entrance, chances for a M&G and the possibility to buy a summit ticket with the 60$ membership you get all benefits from the 25$ membership, a possible summit is included and you get the merch package includes shirt, flag and a earplug case but in both cases you have to buy the LPU11 cd seperately

[Chouonsoku]

Um, guaranteed Meet & Greet access? YES PLEASE! At first I was like "no big deal", then I go to that part. Quite the nice bonus for anyone that already has LPU11 Annual.
